This guide provides quick setup instructions for the ME7838D/G Broadband/Banded mm-Wave VNA System

assembly. For additional safety and compliance information, and for more details about the assembly,

configuration, setup, and test of the equipment, refer to the VectorStar™ ME7838 Series

Broadband/Millimeter-Wave System Installation Guide – 10410-00293.

This and all other documentation that supports the ME7838D/G is available on the VectorStar product web

page:

http://www.anritsu.com/en-us/products-solutions/products/ms4640b-series.aspx

On this web page, you can select various tabs for more information about your instrument. Included is a

“Library” tab which contains links to all the latest technical documentation related to this instrument.

The ME7838D/G Broadband system consists of the MS4647B VNA with Option 007 (Receiver Offset),

Option 08x (Modular Broadband Connection Capability), the 3739C Broadband Test Set, two MA25300A or

two MA25400A Millimeter-Wave Modules, and the necessary front and rear panel cables. A fully configured

system is shown below.

The ME7838D/G Banded Millimeter-Wave system consists of an MS464xA/B VNA with Option 08x, the 3739C

Broadband Test Set, and two 3744A-EE, 3744A-EW, or two OML/VDI Millimeter-Wave Modules.

1. Installing Rear Panel Cables (MS464xA VNA)

The MS4647A VNA can be used in the ME7838D-based systems only.

This section focuses on installing cables when using a MS464xA VNA. Start the ME7838D assembly by placing

the 3739C Broadband Test Set so you can access the rear panel for cable connection.

Warning To avoid injury, use two or more people to lift the MS464xA VNA to the top of the 3739C Test Set.

Caution

To avoid connector damage or inaccurate measurements, before making any connections, review

the 10100-00060-Connector Care Instruction Sheet. Observe connector torque requirements where

indicated in this guide.

Note The MS4647A software does not support the ME7838G system.

3. Installing Front Panel Cables

Connect the front panel cables between the MS464xA/B VNA and the 3739C Test Set, and between the Test

Set and the millimeter-Wave modules as shown in Figure 3 and as described in Table 3.

Example MS464xA/B VNA equipped with Option 051, 061, or 062 with included Front Panel Loops

Note: The cables for Test Port 1 to Module SRC (key 8 to 9) and Test Port 2 to Module SRC (key 12 to13) are not

used with mm-Wave modules 3744A-EE, 3744A-EW, or 3744A-Rx.

3744A-Rx Receiver Module.

4. Millimeter-Wave Module Connections

QSG-10 PN: 10410-00732 Rev. C VectorStar ME7838D/G QSG

4. Millimeter-Wave Module Connections

Connect the 3739C Broadband Test Set Port-1 and Port-2 cables to the MA25300A, MA25400A, 3743A,

3744A-EE, 3744A-EW, or 3744A-Rx Modules as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, observing the correct torque

limits for each connector, as specified in Table 4. Route the cable assemblies through the cable restraint.

Note

For ease of connection, the module can be removed from the bracket, then reinstalled after cables

are secured. Observe torque instructions where indicated.

Each module (except the 3744A-Rx) is characterized for absolute power for a specific VNA Serial

Number and VNA Test Port as designated on the module port assignment label. Ensure the module

matches the correct VNA and Test Set port.

If an alternative MA25300A or 3743 series mm-Wave module is used there will be approximately

1 dB of absolute power inaccuracy, which can be corrected by performing a power calibration.

An alternative MA25400A mm-wave module can lead to a 3 dB absolute power accuracy at higher

frequencies which can also be corrected by performing a power calibration.

For more detailed information on the modules including DUT Waveguide (WG) connection alignment

and custom bracket mounting, refer to 10410-00311-VectorStar® Broadband/Banded

Millimeter-Wave Modules Reference Manual.
